You know I am quite surprised by how comfortable I already am with the Wii controls....I think I am converted.

Love the extra stuff too, like surfing the web on my tv with the Wii without having to hook anything up to a computer. Very nice! And the load screen with Mario collecting coins when I decided to download some game demos. That was very cool!

House of the Dead 2&3

Monster Hunter Tri (of course... :) )

Geometry Wars Galaxies

Gunblade NY: Special Air Assault Force and L.A Machineguns: Rage of the Machines (more ports good ol' Sega arcade shooters. I still need to pick this up.)

I'm going to add the first No More Heroes to the list. I thought that was pretty fun and it's pretty cheap by now too. I'll also second the vote for Muramasa. It's certainly one of the prettiest games on the system. That and Okami if you haven't seen it on PS2. The brush controls are certainly easier on the Wii. Zack and Wiki's a nice little puzzle game too.

I like how it's actually random who pops up on that loading screen. Sometimes it's small Mario, sometimes it's Luigi and my favourite, Fire Mario. When he appears, you can press A on the wiimote to shoot fireballs. Utterly useless but at least you have something to do while Mario runs about collecting all those coins...

Do you mean favorite that I've played? I'm still working through Donky Kong Country Returns. After that, I'm going to look at all the games in this thread and decide on one or two to pick up. I've also got Sin & Punishment 2 on my shelf so I'll get around to playing that eventually too

It seems incredibly rare, but sometimes you get both mario and luigi swimming across the screen. They swim all over, even in front of the text, and come down to hit the block. I wish it would appear more often, I've only ever seen it once.

That one's my favorite! I've downloaded so much damn WiiWare, I think I've seen it happen three or four times.

I've downloaded about 55 games between Wiiware and VC and have only seen it once :(

Wow. Well, you could always delete all your games and download them again, if you *really* want to see it badly enough.
